TubePulse is an advanced question type used for dial testing in surveys. Dial testing is the real-time collection of feedback to questions and moment-to-moment experience to live or recorded content.
TubePulse questions in surveys enable you to engage the target audience in thoughtful and in-depth discussions to collect their feedback.
TubePulse lets you force respondents to listen to the audio file or watch the video for a specific time. It ensures respondents do not answer questions randomly without going through the content.
QuestionPro's dial testing software integrates into traditional web-based surveys. It allows you to dial test the respondents as we would in person, using a visual interface that allows true moment-to-moment dial ratings. Immediate real-time results from an advanced dial testing module will enable you to adapt the discussion on-the-fly and know what your respondents think.
TubePulse survey is also available with our mobile research platform, and data can be collected on all major smartphone devices in iOS and Android. However, YouTube videos are not supported on the app for the TubePulse question type.
If you ask people what they thought at a certain point in the past, they are most likely to tell the experience incompletely. It is because people tend to forget, and the intensity of experience reduces gradually. Also, other experiences and our day-to-day lives overwrite the recent ones in our memory. Hence, when you collect the data, the accuracy of the responses is compromised.
Viewers of an online web series can be asked questions in the mid of the show related to the content that just played. Survey software can log the responses, and viewers continue to rate the show to the end.
